So why are just 3 of these funds still worthy of your attention, only a few weeks later?

I’ll unpack that—and name these 3 top-flight funds—in a moment. First, let’s step back and take a look at what happened in a very wild February, and where it all leaves us now.

A Market Disaster Gets Undone

So much has happened. First, the S&P 500 (SPY) did this:

Was It All a Dream?

The good news is, the stock market losses we saw at the start of the month are now history.

The even better news is that the S&P 500 is up just over 3% from the start of 2018, meaning this market isn’t overheated. That “goldilocks” position should be giving investors more confidence that now is the right time to get back into the game.

It also means time is running out if you haven’t gotten back in already.

And if you’re sitting on cash?

No problem. I’ll show you where to put that cash to work without overpaying too much for the wrong investments.

But before I get to that, let’s take a look at those 4 funds I earmarked in February. They were the PCM Fund (PCM), the Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund (VGI), the Kayne Anderson MLP Investment Company (KYN) and the Dreyfus Strategic Municipal Bond Fund (DSM).

How do these funds look now?

A Quick Improvement

While the warm weather—and a corresponding drop in natural gas and heating oil demand—has weighed on the master limited partnership–focused Kayne Anderson fund, the average return for these picks since I pointed them out, about two weeks ago, is 2.7%, while the S&P 500 is down slightly since then.

The small size of the CEF market means a lot of big investors who could profit from these inefficiencies don’t bother—and it also means a lot of mom-and-pop investors don’t know these funds even exist.

That’s our opportunity.

The 4 funds I’ve shown you are all CEFs, and, of course, none of them are trading at their NAV (although two do come close):

3 Bargains—and 1 Ship That’s Sailed

First, let’s tackle the PCM Fund, which trades at a 9.8% premium to its NAV, meaning it’s priced above the actual market value of its portfolio. That’s because PIMCO, the fund manager, is great at beating the market, so the market rewards them with a premium.

But a near double-digit premium is too rich for my blood, so this isn’t the best fund to buy right now. And if you nabbed PCM at its unusually low premium earlier in February, you might want to consider getting out or, at the very least, holding on and allocating cash to other investments.

Meanwhile, the Dreyfus Strategic Municipal Bond Fund sports a discount to NAV that has widened since my February 19 article—but investors haven’t really lost any money since I recommended it. How is that possible?

Simple: the fund’s price has slid, but the NAV is staying straight.

Stable NAV, Lower Price

And since investors are still getting the fund’s 5.5% dividend yield, they’re pocketing a strong income stream while they hold on. And since it’s gotten even cheaper, despite the fact that the fund’s real, intrinsic value hasn’t changed, it’s something worth considering if you have cash to spare.

Now let’s hit the Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund and the Kayne Anderson MLP Investment Company. Both funds are trading close to their NAV, and both are paying massive dividends—12% and 10.6%, respectively. So should income investors hold on or buy more?

To answer that question, we’ll take a look at this chart showing where their discounts to NAV stand relative to history:

The Big Picture

This chart makes one thing clear: KYN is now cheaper than it’s been through most of its history, where it tends to trade at a premium to NAV. On the other hand, VGI’s discount, while off a bit from the last few months, is narrower than it usually is.

That makes one thing clear: buying more KYN and waiting for it to revert to its historical mean looks like a smart move, while cautiously adding VGI is also practical, since it’s a strong fund with a very good portfolio.

So if you’re sitting on cash, 3 of these funds still deserve your attention. And thanks to the 500-strong CEF market, there are a lot more out there, too—starting with the 14 I want to tell you about now.
